Offering investment flexibility in high-yield property markets

Initially, HiP Will revolutionise the world of property for four major markets within this sector:

FIRST TIME BUYERS

“A record number of first time buyers must find at least £500,000 to get a foothold on the housing ladder in London.” - London Evening Standard, 15th December 2017

Although HiP is not just about London, this headline tells a sad story. Combined with an average £80,000 debt for University graduates in the UK and we have a major social problem. HiP will help solve this by allowing investors to participate in first time buyers' home ownership, bringing the barriers to entry far lower than ever conceived possible before.

EQUITY RELEASE

To release equity in a property today can only be achieved by either selling it entirely or taking out further debt. Having to pay interest to access wealth that already belongs to you is a deeply flawed model.

HiP will allow people to release equity into their own property bank account on the HiP platform; in multiple currencies and without incurring further debt or moving out of their home.

BUY TO LET LANDLORDS

HiP will allow buy-to-let investors to leverage their entire portfolio to expand their portfolios faster, cheaper and more efficiently.

PROPERTY INVESTORS

The HiP platform allows investors to choose from multiple opportunities with incredible flexibility.
